jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxDropDownList widget is a jQuery drop-down list that contains a list of selectable items displayed in the drop-down list.

The open() method is used to display the popup listbox. It does not accept any parameter and does not return any value.

Syntax:

$("Selector").jqxDropDownList('open');

Linked Files: Download jQWidgets from the link https://www.jqwidgets.com/download/. In the HTML file, locate the script files in the downloaded folder.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css” type=”text/css” />
